In Vivo Survival of Human Energy-Replete Carrier Erythrocytes

  • Chapter
Erythrocytes as Drug Carriers in Medicine

Abstract

Erythrocytes have been proposed as carriers of encapsulated therapeutic agents. Encapsulation of therapeutic agents within erythrocytes with a normal mean cell life range of 89 to 131 days (normal half-life of 19 to 29 days) should limit the vascular clearance of the administered drug thus reducing the dosage and frequency of therapeutic interventions.
